Omni-Tek thinks of nothing but profit and self-promotion
Brothers and Sisters of the Clans!
Council of Ares claims not that it is the only right way forward. But unfortunately it is so far the only way that exists! The only opportunity for the Clans to unite. While the Omni-Tek employees join this public forum to preach of nobilty and a changed nature of the today's Omni-Tek, they corrupt the planet we live on in the name of profit and see Clanners as squatters upon Omni-Tek's property. Mr. Ross's recent statement is a proof of this. And his is the official position of this corporation.
I for one do not need Tir Accord to tell me that which has been won by those who came before me by their flesh and blood is Clan's. I need no legitimising. I am here, on my land and no corporate scumback is going to take it away from me. And I am not the only one who thinks so! Those who want to defend that which is ours have united in the hope of preserving that which is ours. Some clans want to make peace with Omni-Tek, some want to destroy the Omni-Tek completely. I and the CoA want only to defend that which is ours and to keep Omni-Tek away from our lands.
And no, I do not care whether ICC accepts me or acknowledges me. ICC did not give me what I have and I owe no allegiance to it. I do not need ICC to tell me that the land I live on is mine. They all want notum and that is all they care about. I care about this land, my land.
Omni-Tek says they want peace. Yet they have bases on our land. Omni-Tek says they want peace, yet during the Tir Accord they exercised their might as they saw fit, breaching the Accord at times with impunity. I never said a word. I felt protected by the Tir Accord and by CoT. Now, CoT has run out on me and the Tir Accord is in tatters. I am no fool - when push comes to shove I shall defend that which is mine to the last drop of my blood and unite with others to provide common defense!
Some of you may see CoA as a military tyrany coming to take control of the clans. This is not so! If those critics were to read the statements of the CoA they would realise that the only purpose of the CoA is to provide common defense for the Clans and to help in establishing an effective government for the Clans. I wish no part in running the Clans, I wish to tell none how to live their lives. I want to be safe and protected in my land with no threat of any corporate hyena coming and taking that which is mine.
This is my personal opinion.

I once came here an spouted the same political rhetoric...
and I did it in support of CAS and CoA.
My questions are easy for you Fiqh;
1. Why would anyone follow CoA after it was formed then disbanded and now reformed again? Seems like it isn't anything really taken seriously, seems like the CoA so-called leadership isn't to be taken seriously. Sorry CoA is dead, when it gave up and disbanded it lost all credibility.
2. Do you know what anarchy is? How can a group that calls themselves anarchists claim to promote a Republic as a form of government? It seem mildly contradictory. CAS has a very bad reputation for such things as running wildly through Omni Entertainment shooting the place up. Those kind of actions don't really bring to mind a well organized military that makes wise tactical and stratigic decisions.
Sorry Fiqh, there just isn't any credibility left here.
It's time to stop the random acts of violence. Clan, OT and Neutral are lame labels placed on various groups often amoung which there are like-minded people. It is time to discard these labels as cause for strife and blood-shed and instead look into the hearts of those with faction tags other than yours. Judge them for their beliefs and actions and unite with those that share your ideals despite the labels branded on them by powers they have little control over.
It is time NOW to band together across all factions. Your enemies are not so clearly defined as you have thought in the past.
No, CoA is a dinosaur...it's time is far far gone. It should have been left abandonded, its resurection is an abomination.

1. "Wasnt there then, dont know" is the honest answer to this. U were there and you run away.
2. Anarchy, in my understanding, is a right to be free and not governed by anyone. Thus I will be once the need for a common defense has passed. If you think that clan republic is the same as a totally controlled state of affairs under Omni-Tek, you are greatly mistaken. Promoting the republic is not the same as running it. As for the past reputation of the clan - you were there then, I assume cuz I was not even born then :), and what did you do?
In answer to Omni:
1. CoA took a defensive action. Omni-Tek has a base on our territory, behid our backs. It threatens Clans' security. As I have said before, we shall not apologize for an action that was right. No civilians were hurt, only military personal was engaged. Why was there an army at that base if Omni-Tek plans no attack? 5 Juggernauts we killed. 5! How many more remained after we withdrew? Clans are allied with Knights of Camelot. We shall not stand by while our ally falls!
2. As to CoA wanting a war. We declared no war officially or you would have known for sure by now. It is our current policy that no attack shall be undertaken on Omni-Tek territory, ie Omni-Tek cities, towns and settlements. However, millitary bases and outposts upon our and our allies' territory shall be deemed invading troops and may be attacked.
OOC: Keeping 4 posts running on the same topic at the same time is a bit taxing, seeing that you all are such great sport. Great RP, appreciate it :)

I would have thought that IF ....
the Tir Accord had been negotiated in GOOD FAITH by OT then it would have been viewed as a treaty with all of the Clans and not just the current set of leaders. That we are going through a difficult time presently is hardly a reason to break an agreement made with the people that call themselves Clans. Just because leadership changes hands is NOT a reason to break treaties.
As far as CoA is concerned they are nothing more than a small group of war-like clans trying to make a bid for self-serving power in the vacuum of the CoT. While I do not support the CoT I also do not support the CoA.
I would have THOUGHT that if OT actually believed in the treaty they negotiated and signed that they would not exacerbate our situation by revoking it. All that this has accomplished is to give ammunition to fanatics like CoA. It seems that OT wants all out war as much as CoA does. This saddens me considerably.
Be that as it may, certian Omni groups have expressed a willingness to maintain a cease-fire...I would suspect that there are considerable Clans that would like to do the same. Perhaps at least a subset of us all can do without the inane fighting that goies on ad nauseum.
